    Not pre-war; 1948-52. It's a Daimler Special Sport DHC by Barker.

    No problem - and definitely not a foolish question.

    Car in post #685 is an ARC (Atelier-Recherche-Création) built in the 70's by Michel Faure in France.

    By looking at the dash, with the gages straddling the steering, I'd say Austin Healy 100 as well.

    Yes, I saw that on AutoPuzzles recently, but I wasn't able to verify that the OP was correct. I haven't found any other source associating this car with either Faure or ARC. Do you have something else?

    My answer was too fast... And wrong.Sorry. Somebody contacted Michel Faure and his answer is that this car is NOT an ARC.

    Thanks Pierre! I thought this might have been some Lamborghini or other design from Bertone. But the door handles and rear were throwing me off. Now that I see the front it looks like DeTomaso Mangusta.

    Thanks for identifying the car. The photo was indeed taken in front of Chinetti Motors in '74.
